I have this error when ever i try to save an xml file over a windows shared
folder

*Warning*:
fopen(\\192.168.10.2\businesscard\XML\afbf7d1fb318054a5ba3e9 d4cca0af.xml) [
function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Invalid argument in *
E:\\businesscard\create.php* on line *663*

my code:
$createXML =
fopen("\\\\192.168.10.2\businesscard\XML\".$xml_uniq_session .".xml", "w");
$_xml ="\r\n";
.....
fwrite($createXML, $_xml, strlen($createXML));
fclose($createXML);

What could be the problem?

Your path is probably invalid as backslashes are escapes inside double
quotes. So the single backslashes act as escapes on the following
character, which results in no separation between directories.
Workarounds include:
Use forward slashes for paths inside double quotes,
fopen("////192.168.10.2/businesscard/XML/" . $xml_uniq_session . ".xml", "w");
escape the backslashes themselves
fopen("\\\\\\\\192.168.10.2\\businesscard\\XML\\".$xml_uniq_ session.".xml",
"w");
or single quotes
fopen('\\\\192.168.10.2\businesscard\XML\' . $xml_uniq_session . '.xml', "w");

Hi John,

Tried your suggestion. But, it still has the same error.
[function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Invalid argument in

Tried both..

Use forward slashes for paths inside double quotes,
fopen("////192.168.10.2/businesscard/XML/" . $xml_uniq_session . ".xml",
"w");
escape the backslashes themselves

fopen("\\\\\\\\192.168.10.2\\businesscard\\XML\\".$xml_uniq_ session.".xml",
"w");
or single quotes
fopen('\\\\192.168.10.2\businesscard\XML\' . $xml_uniq_session . '.xml',
"w");

But, PHP is still giving me
[function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Invalid argument in

This might be a bug? It looks simple, but what is the exact point when it
says "failed to open stream?"

Have you try to test whether the file is available or not ?

Maybe you should try somehting like this :

$xml_file = '\\\\192.168.10.2\\businesscard\\XML\\'.$xml_uniq_session.'. xml';

if (!file_exists($xml_file)) {
exit('File '.$xml_file.' does not exists or is unavailable');
} elseif (!is_file($xml_file)) {
exit('File '.$xml_file.' is not a regular file');
} elseif (!is_writable($xml_file)) {
exit('File '.$xml_file.' is not writable');
} else {
fopen($xml_file,'w');
}

Hi Louie

I've tried using both a mapped network drive and the UNC path syntax.
Both work perfectly for me, although I only tried reading, not writing.

Which version of PHP are you using. I'm not sure if versions before 5.0
handle shares at all.

I checked the bug entry you cited, did you read the final entry in it
which describes why it is a permission problem and not a bug? It also
gives advice on how to work around the problem.
